Does the yeast eventually eat through the top layers and eventually reach the bottom?
the jello slow releases the yeasts food.
how long has it been "cooked" up for the Co2 mix that is?

I used jello twice, ones a failure 2nd benifit of user error. I could never get it to be consistent. I use my method because thats what works and havnt had a problem if anything it produces too much Co2 then I have to turn it down with the venturi valve. the first 3 days I dont get bubbles I get a stream of Co2 from the bottles then it goes into a reserve tank where pressure is always built up from the brew.

I will take pics asap i gotta get ready to take my kids to their grandmas for the week 8hrs round trip today. I doubt I will get to it.
